SF-Windows - Unable to Download from Netflix for Last Several Versions

Stan001

Its only purchased movies , not everything with YT.

I've uninstalled SF a few times but it never seems to sort things out. And the Remuxing problem only started today and the first episode was fine then the second screwed up but I restarted and got as far as episode 7 so it's very inconsistent.

This might be a job for Cleverget but paying twice because SF doesn't work is getting tiresome

I don't ever rent/buy, so can't test those on YouTube. Just wanted to note that movies with ads NEVER gave me 1080p before, but many are now. Might be a YT change.
You may want to keep going with CG as YouTube works fine on all content that I can test, again can't test rent/buy, so you may want to see what CG offers in resolution if it's better than 480 or 540p or what. The YT changes do NOT seem to effect CG at all.

I actually asked CG about 1080 on paid movies and they said it was NO. They also said no to 1080 on Disney at the time so SF get a + mark there.

I uninstalled SF and reinstalled and it seems to be working although I'm not confident it will reliably download my Netflix quota uninterrupted. Now I have the tedious issue of recalling where I make the change to stop that blasted ad popping up every time I open SF

Could be the VPN but not had issues with that before
phelings

That's how I felt about uktv recently, for example ..
.. but VPN problems are not caused by SF.

And how in such a case - without knowing about the VPN -
a "usefull" answer could look like is unfortunately unclear to me
My help cannot be better than the information provided - sorry about

btw: And the repetition of non-NF relevant known problems
in an NF topic not created by you I do not find "usefull"

> I guess its time for yet another uninstall
Sounds good, good luck

Cats4U

You really do post junk. If you don't have anything useful to say then just STFU. It's really odd that every time someone reports a problem it's always you that pops up saying "everything is ok here".
Clearly it isn't for many other people. As for YouTube movies not working for 4 8 hours What planet are you on.Youtube movies won't download purchased movies in 1080 and never has despite promises .

As for the moronic comment that nobody is forcing me to use SF . Maybe the fact that I've paid for it and for additional modules might have something to do with it.
I've already said to you before that if you have nothing useful to say then don't bother (and your comments are rarely useful) yet you can't resist telling everyone how youre not having problems. Well don/t

A flag has been sent to management. Germania doesn't deserve this kind of abuse. He does 90% of the problem fixes around here. It is clear that you have a problem with authority. You'd better correct that before you are gone.

I don't have a problem with authority at all. What I do have a problem with is smartarses popping by to make no useful contribution. He accuses me of whining. I expect something I've paid for to work when its supposed to but maybe that's just me.
I've mentioned it to him before about keeping quiet if he has nothing useful to add , so there's nothing for me to correct.

As for your flag sent to management , I'm guessing you already know what you can do with that

Germania

As the reinstall seems to have solved the problem I'm guessing its nothing to do with the VPN but the constant need to uninstall, reinstall , delete folders etc definitely is a SF problem

And it seems a better idea to add to a current Netflix thread than start up a new one.
Isn't picking up on typos something 6 year olds stopped doing decades ago for fear of seeming stupid or petty?

I know what I would and could do, but I'll let them handle it.

phelings

Well, what can he say if it's fine for him...

Most problems with Streamfab can be avoided by performing a clean reinstall of each version...

It might be because everything's fine for him most of the time...

If you still have problems with Streamfab, please start a new topic, and we'll ignore it!

God bless you!

phelings

Sebastian001

He can say nothing which is what I asked him to do. Posting to say he has no issues is no use whatsoever. And its clear that problems vary from system to system and between users and different locations and setups so most useful would be replies from those who have experienced similar problems. Replying to say everything is ok doesn't help.

I also have times when users have problems I'm not having so unless I've had something similar before so can advise a possible solution I don't bother.

God bless you too

If someone wrote download a from b does not work ..
.. and I check this and it works for me, this info is
of course helpful to know that it is not a general SF problem !
Definitely more helpful than no feedback at all
and not knowing if everyone has the same problem

And if no further information is given,
it is not always possible to guess the cause of the error.
In this case, problem solving is usually not possible

Yes but the constant use of "it must be you" that we get from you and Cats is not helpful because as we have seen on plenty of occasions there are times when problems that don't affect everybody can still not be down to the user.

I do appreciate your input and its been useful several times but please refrain from banging on about the fact that many of the problems I (and others) get don't affect you so it must be down to us. I've had personal messages of support from users also fed up with the same treatment who now simply don't bother to post because they know what will happen

I tend to agree. This forum (and all forums really) should be one where we cooperatively are supporting each other, to grow the community around shared experience (& shared issues), when it applies. There's an invaluable collective knowledge between everyone here that's just ripe for the tapping! That said, a certain baseline of discipline/demeanor/tact would go a long way. And maybe a dialing down of the superlatives and blustering. We should be approaching every question/issue as an opportunity to learn, teach, help each other out towards a hopeful solution... but really... only when a reply would come from some sort of 'experience common denominator'. Meaning, simply, if you don't relate and can't correlate, then... no reply needed... Basic stuff!

Let's do a test:

Let's have @Germania, @Cats4U , @october262 , @KidJoe and myself stop engaging for 30 days.

Maybe someone else steps up and provides great free support or...

DVDFab staff take much longer to look at issues since none of the more credible people are confirming the issues and the responses will be:

Delete your temp and logs folder and try the latest version.

We are on holiday.

Thank you!

I can easily stop posting for that long. In fact, I have improved my "Easy MOD" for people using multiple versions of StreamFab and was about to post it, but it can definitely wait 30 days.

The others probably won't stop so we'll never know what that looks like, unfortunately. :rolleyes:

You can all do that. Maybe a break would do others good as well.
I personally am thankful for the help Cats4U has done, and you jpp72 and especially Germania for going above and beyond on helping get users working.
I try to fix most of my issues myself now, but there are still times when it helps to get another outlook on an issue.
I also personally don't mind if someone tells me it works for them, there were times that led to the fix.

Yes , Germania has been helpful in the past , possibly Cats too . What I was trying to point out was there really is no need to reply if all they can say is its our problem , they don't have it and as things others have go wrong they don't experience it must be the users fault. Plenty of examples where that doesn't apply.

I usually do the deleting folders thing first , restarts etc and uninstall as a last resort so won't usually report problems unless all that fails.

Like others are finding, posting on here for help is a desperate last resort.
I wonder why

That's sad people feel that way, I feel that way about SF support, and they get paid.
This is user to user support, and I know I don't get paid. And yes, no one is forcing me.
I guess my payment is if/when I help someone get an SF issue fixed.
I guess everyone can see things different, but overall I got more/better support here then contacting SF support.
SF supports canned responses just don't help, either.

I have also been around forums for longer than I care to say. If users have those feelings, it should be addressed direct to SF, via the member portal, or pmed to dvdstaff, not pmed to another member. In other forums, the issues were always taken to the admins of the forum and let them handle it.
Let's get back to being nice and if that's not possible then I was always told if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything, or at least keep it private.

This also should be closed as this all has nothing to do with Netflix now.

So, @phelings , you keep telling me that others have told you they don't want help from @Germania or @Cats4U ...

How many are there, 1, 2, or 3? Feel free to let them know; if they have something to say, they should speak for themselves.

I can't count how many people @Germania has already helped. Even when I think back to the moderator days of Jack or Cats. There were far more people than you and your supposed people. Just leave this forum if you feel offended.

Germania

Yes but the constant use of "it must be you" that we get from you and Cats is not helpful
phelings

My most frequently repeated statement is: "No problem detected"
and not: You're to silly to use SF, because it works for me

Does this help to solve the problem?
Not directly - but it is a systematic delimitation of the problem.

If no troubleshooting suggestions follow, this is because no further information was provided
(e.g. which SF version, in which country and above all the SF settings and selection made)
In these cases, it is rarely possible for me to narrow down the error further

If you read that as “it must be you” then I can't help you either

Cats4U

Let's do a test:

It's going to be tough but count me in. I'll see you all back here on April 27th.
